ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Asheville Hemp Project (AHP) is launching a new product line, and says that it is donating 50% of online sales to the NC Restaurant Workers Relief Fund.

“We are very excited about our new product offerings that are coming onto the market at this time,” says AHP co-founder Leslie Hoffman. “We are also very concerned about the fate of our community during the pandemic. Much of the economy of the greater Asheville area relies on the hospitality sector, and with all non-essential businesses closed, most restaurant workers are staying home with no idea of when, or if, they will have their jobs again. For that reason, we are contributing 50% of every purchase to the NC Restaurant Workers Relief Fund.”

AHP is bringing four new products to market, each designed to fill a niche space in the consumer market. As described by the company, they are:

• Pre-Rolls: Grown on the AHP farm – premium hemp flower is consistently rolled in unbleached hemp paper with a unique biodegradable crutch. No need to filter out the reason you smoke.
